XPS 710 - About CPU Temperature

Question

So i just bought this XPS 710 and i was wondering because i cant find it anywhere... where do you check the temperature levels for the CPU and where can you change/see the fan speeds? All I can check is the GPU overclocking and GPU fan speed :(

Specs:
Windows XP Home
Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz
nForce 590 SLI

Geforce 8800 GTX

Thanks in advance :)

Download/install nVidia's nTune. It will show you fan speeds and CPU and Mobo temps. Evil.

Thanks a lot for the reply :) Ok so I installed it but I still can't see it... besides many records seem to be missing :(   Ill post a screenshot and perhaps you could guide me further to find where to check the temp/OC of the CPU   http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/4619/cputempvv9.jpg   Custom language of this PC is Spanish so some things are in spanish, 'No registrado' would be like not available Also, what's up with the 0% CPU usage at the Nvidia monitor? and It wont even display the voltage And the cpu is really quiet for the main fan to be running at almost 32k RPM... isn't that a bit too much? I know the fan its big but wow   Something is wrong here :(

Oh i see what was missing now I had to activate the overclocking options at the BIOS... and now it gives me some kind of agreement i have to accept to be able to see and change the voltages and temps... however it seems that ill lose the warranty if I accept   All I wanted was to be able to see the temp of the CPU... and I don't think that it will be worth losing the warranty   Any other way to check the temperature without losing the warranty? :(

Speedfan, you can have it start with windows with just the temp showing in the system tray. I have used it for years on several different machines, great little program!   http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php   also I don,t believe ntune will void any warranties, I use it also.

You could also use the Intel Thermal Analysis Tool (TAT). It can bedownloaded here.

Also Loading Ntune and agreeing to the OC statement will not void any warranty from Dell especially if all you are doing is monitoring Temps with NVMonitor.

Is there anyway to alter the fan speed manually?

odenwalder · Answer

RivaTuner is the only program that I know of that works. You are supposed to be able to do it with Ntune but it does not work properly on my XPS700.
